No.

Larry Summers was punished for condemning anti-Semitism-its most visible manifestation being an Islamist/socialist-led divestment campaign taking place on campus during his tenure-not for condoning it.

So am I to understand that he spoke out against the move to divest? Did he say that this campaign to divest was driven by antisemitism? Or is this an assumption?

I only ask this because I am trying to get to the truth of almost anything I read these days so though I knew about the move to divest I didn't think about who was working for what end because I saw no recognizable names speaking out for either side. So,Summers did say something?

Guess I was just anxious to blame pressure from the feminists for his somewhat abrupt departure.

If you could point out some documentation of his position I would appreciate it, then I could put it to bed,in my mind at least. Thanks.
